Stevenage v Barnet: April Fool's Gold?

April Fool’s Gold

Ah, April Fool’s Day. To quote Shania’s brother (Really? Ed.), Mark Twain: The day upon which Barnet fans are reminded of what they are on the other 364. Back to the Lamex, then, for the latest chapter in the unfolding drama that’s the League Two promotion race. We may not have got everything we had wanted from …

League Two Run-In: Who’s Your Money On?

Now, folks, there we have it: Gameweek 39 is all done and dusted. It doesn’t quite feel as if it has been eight-or-so months since the 2016-7 League Two season ’twas but a glint in the fixture computer’s eye. And, yet, it is where we happen to find ourselves. We’re now staring …

Cambridge United v Stevenage: U's Don't Bring Me Flowers...

U’s Don’t Bring Me Flowers…

How was your Christmas? It could seem weird for us to ask that now, we know, but we’re keen to find out. Did you have to put up with barely-welcome guests who did nothing but take liberties in the comfort of your own gaff? Folks, that’s Cambridge United to a tee. Back in the times before …

The Future’s Bright…

…and the future, or the present at least, is a certain shade of orange. Fresh from our sublime weekend win against the orange-clad Hatters of Luton, up next are the tangerine-clad Seasiders of Blackpool. Boro’ are being kept in the road for our latest League Two outing, though it’s much further than a short …

Luton Town v Stevenage: What'sa Hatter You? Hey! Gotta No Respect?

What’sa Hatter You…?

Fifth versus sixth – that’s the mundane way of putting things. After all, a little bit of expectation management now-and-then isn’t a bad thing. You can manage those expectations all you like, however. There is no escaping the fact that Stevenage are going to be taking part in a high stakes local …

Exeter City v Stevenage: Exeterminate!

Exeterminate!

FOUR-MIDABLE! That’ll be what the tabloid papers screech about Boro’. The men from the Lamex are tottering along in a rather dashing manner at the moment. A flush of four wins on the spin leaves us in fine fettle; ninth place if you please. It’s as high as we’ve been so far …
